I received an email from "enomcentral" requesting me to login in order to verify the WHOIS info of my domains "per ICANN" regulations. The email points to:

en0mcentral.com (that's a zero!)

The domain is hosted with Yahoo.

 
Me too.
I never click on link within email anyway.
If I want to see the site, I copy the link and paste
it to notepad and check the url first ;)
 
Just spoke with an eNom person at their abuse dpt and they are aware of it.
 
Great catch! I just deleted that one myself.
 
Looks like email was sent from [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]213.232.95.73
It appears to be a compromised machine. The domain it hosts is hcd.homecare-direct.co.uk
Would someone in the UK inform homecare-direct.co.uk that their box/mailserver is hijacked?

yep, just got the email and deleted before saw post. cheers for heads up anyway Acro :yes:
 
The sad part is that most likely they already have a few dozen login and passwords.
 
Does it say


Dear ( USERNAME)

some people do fall for that
 
Damn, why don't I ever get these kinds of emails?
 
If you visited that page and you were already logged in to your eNom account, change your password. Some scripts are able to steal such login information.
 
when eNom sends e-mail to verify whois information, you don't need to enter your enom login information. I had few of those e-mail asked me to verify whois, and the site to verify enom whois is http://wdrp.name-services.com/
not in enomcentral.com or enom.com
 
Thank you Acro for the info! Just received the e-mail.
 
thx Acro ! were there any fake DNF emails sent to anyone in the past ?
 
Got one from GD. I copied the ICANN #, logged out and closed the browser. Shortly thereafter, I reopened a browser and logged in normally and pasted the # in the ICANN box. Paranoid here!
 
I only direct navigate to login to sites...don't click on any links!
 
Another Fake enom e-mail is on the loose. Be on the look out!!!! Just received it.
